long black cadillac

it used to be
if you had a Cadillac 
it meant you had arrived.
you had achieved
some sort of social status
and earnings.
your ship had come in.
with leather
upholstery and all
the trim. how you'd
drive it slowly
down the street.
the long white or black caddy
in the driveway
said everything there was
to say about who you
were.
and about what wasn't
within.
